I drive one of these on a daily basis in Mozambique. The engine is 2.8 Diesel, not 2.7. I also have that annoying red light on the lower left corner of the dash. Apparently, it’s related to the anti-theft system (still unsolved, I’m just living with it). I could do better in terms of car, but for my current “life situation”, it’s serving me well.

Loving the buying cheap series, watched for a while, and your commentary/humour keeps it entertaining (even though it would be fun to watch either way) . I would probably give it to someone who owns a farm or something of the sort you know, just so they can keep it to drive around the land on, so that it still gets the life it deserves as a workhorse or something until its completely dead, off-road.

Never once sold a Sport, always Limited and usualy the 3.7 petrol or the 2.8 auto. Sport petrol was fookin aweful. I liked them but I didn't have to own one, just jumped in and out of demo cars including a 4.0 Grand Cherokee we called 'The QE2' on account of how many gallons per mile it needed.

A friend had one of those from new and I was amazed at how crude, bouncy and cheaply finished it was at the time. Personally, I’d never buy an American car, they’re all built to a (low) budget. But look at it this way, you can sell the tow bar for £200, you found 27p in the cup holder and it’s got to be worth £299.73 as scrap so you’re unlikely to lose anything. FYI, sick horses go to the glue factory 🤣

I would NEVER buy a French or Italian car. Pieces of shit. They were rubbish and we sent them packing and hope they never come back. Our junk cars serve us very well with many going over 300,000 miles with minimal servicing required. My 1990 Chevrolet Lumina served me very well from 1991 until I retired in 2012. Started after sitting outside on nights that should you be caught outside overnight would be fatal. Just Brutal temps. Just remember the American cars you get are not the same as ours. Different drivetrains there. As far as safety standards go, we have Two agencies to make sure our cars are safe IIHS Insurance institute for highway safety and NHTSA National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Bumper, side impact, rollover, offset frontal impact standards. Front Side and side curtain airbags as well as AEB, lane departure warning cross traffic alert standard backup cameras and more Offset frontal impact is a car crashed into a fixed barrier at 35 mph with only one third of the front of the car to simulate you crossing the center line and crashing into an oncoming car. Much more relevant than a full frontal because it is a much more common type of crash Just a brutal test they must pass. So, you keep yours and we will keep ours. Sort of feel sorry for you.

After seeing those rear arches, I did have an inkling that this car would be very corroded underneath. I’ve never been a fan of American cars, whether that’s because I’m European, and they are quite different to what I’m used to, I’m not sure , but I’ve never had any desire to own one. Great video as always Matt❤.

It does look quite mean and rugged in the car parks here in Dubai. I've tried to convince her to sell it for years, but she always says why? it's never let me down....and she's right, this thing is bulletproof, starts every time. Don't get me wrong, it rattles, shakes and squeaks over every single bump, but just keeps on going. I think she'll have it forever. Loving the reviews Matt. Great stuff as always.

A guy and I went with it on the hills around just to have some fun, typical to guys, I admit. And, unavoidably we had to drive it back home at some point at midnight. Surprise surprise, a police car stopped us on some country forrest road, with high beams and a lantern and pointed at the driver (me) to open the window. And I scrambled about finding the switch for the windows and all I could do was to lock the door 😂 eventually they left us alone, seeing we were so damn boggered 😂

A paid car check and MOT history showed the car was fine until I took it for inspection because it was missing a service book and it was super grubby, unlike the photo shown. Upon inspection, the exhaust manifold has rotted, the condenser was smashed (hidden unrecorded Cat S) and the rear corroded and crumbled like a cookie. Thank god I was able to get a return and refund for it just today...

Lmao, as an American, I’ve never known that the whole compass heading thing was unique to us and I have to admit it’s crazy important to me as I’m always aware of my orientation and that of landmarks, buildings, etc. I think it’s probably because of how spread out everything is here, especially in the west half, sorry, “left half” of the country where I live. I’m up in the mountains where I often need to use the Sun’s position to keep my bearings in order to not get lost. We even give directions for things inside large buildings using compass headings, like in supermarkets “you’ll find the bread it in the northeast corner.” I once had to travel to North Dakota, one of the flattest, most featureless places on earth and when I got up in the morning at the Hotel, the sky was overcast to the point I couldn’t tell where the sun was and when I realized I had lost my bearings, it shut my brain down. I felt genuinely discombobulated and panicked as I knew I needed to head north out town but had no idea where north was. I had to stop everything so I could open a map on my phone because of just how unnerving the feeling was. I’d be so screwed in Britain, lol. I’d have to keep a compass on a string around my neck like a Boy Scout in order to keep the panic attacks at bay.

12:52 the song is called Give It Away by Deepest Blue, and it's an absolute banger! Used to play it regularly on the school run with my brother back in the day! 🤣🔥 Also, that Jeep could do with some 'pampering'. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’m getting sick of the never ending high dollar builds and supercars on many KZbin channels now - one buys one and then they’re all bloody doing it. Is anyone else finding this? So watching a guy from Stockport buying a £500 Jeep that Derek from Vice Grip Garage would squint at and admire the weight reduction and Craigslist rebuild sills… is absolutely brilliant. Definitely take it offroad! Keep these great videos coming - they’re a welcome change from the norm

It took me 25 years to find my dream car. RHD from the driest part of South Africa. Arguably the most rust prone car in history. You would expect rust on the left side of a RHD car. Any tiny bits on my epic Alfasud Ti, are on the driver’s side. Not only use car vertical, but lift door rubbers and carpets on both sides

Had a 8yr old one of these rust bucket a few years ago and it looked Great body wise , mechanic all Great, full Service at agent, MOT no advisories etc. Unfortunately a drunk tailended me and lierally the chasise (floor Pan) disintegrated into a pile of rust. Fortunately no injuries. Total right off . Will never look at a Jeep/chrysler again.

In america the road numbering shows direction, n/s routes end in a 1 and e/w routes end end in a 0 so direction indicates what road you are heading for

Hi Matt, I really enjoy watching your videos, especially when you bring a classic back. It is funny that you are unfazed when you've lost money by buying cars blind! Makes great viewing. I think that car will drop to pieces if you off-road, but it would be funny to see it fall apart into oblivion 🤣. Thank you for entertaining us 👍😀

Do what you said by selling the rear parcel shelf and tow bar (should get back half what you paid for the car) Then scrap it. 1) May be good enough for banger racing. 2) Sell it to fire brigade so they can use it for training purposes to train Fire Fighters recruits how to deal with vehicle fires, also how to safely get injured driver and passengers out (using dummies of course) in a simulating a crash. Just a thought!!!

We had a 2003 CRD LTD 2.5, leather etc, bought in 2005. The electric blue sort of colour. It had a built in satnav fitted as part of the deal. It was a very nice car. We took it from the UK to the Pyrenees for skiing. We took it to France when we moved there and did a deal with a guy who was moving back, swapping cars (his was lhd and French registered) and some money our way. He did intend to sell it on his return to the UK, but kept it as his wife loved it. From memory, they were 4 x 4 of the year in 2003.

You could have some fun in that car if you find a rough old rutted track, with a crumbling top surface that is full of pot holes . . . in other words just about any road in the country.
